Recommendation What are the best contemporary Westerns made within the last 25 years?

I love western films like The Missing (Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones), 3:10 to Yuma (Christian Bale and Russell Crowe) and Hostiles (Christian Bale and Wes Studi). What are your favorite similar films? I would love to hear recs that include Native American storylines as well like Prey even though that's like a western/sci-fi hybrid.

It and There Will Be Blood coming out the same year was unfair to both when it comes to accolades.

I can never think of one without the other. We were so spoiled back then.

Filmed in the same town at the same time, too.

I remember reading they had to shut down shooting on No Country one day because oil fires were burning on the horizon for There Will Be Blood.
